A heavy lab cart moves with kinetic energy Ko on a track and collides with a lighter lab cart that is initially at rest. The carts bounce off each other but the collision is not perfectly elastic, causing the two-cart system to lose kinetic energy Klost. A student wonders if the fraction of kinetic energy lost from the two-cart system during the collision (Klost/Ko) depends on the speed of the first cart before the collision and plans to perform an experiment. Design an experimental procedure that could be used to test the student’s hypothesis. Assume equipment usually found in a school physics laboratory is available. In the table below, list the quantities that would be measured and the equipment that would be used to measure each quantity. Also, define a symbol to represent each quantity. You do not need to use every row and may add additional rows as needed. Describe the overall procedure to be used, referring to the table above. Provide enough detail so that another student could replicate the experiment. As needed, use the symbols defined in the table and/or include a simple diagram of the setup. Be sure to address how experimental uncertainty could be reduced.

Aflask with vinegar in it has a mass of 160 grams. a balloon with baking soda in it has a mass of 40 grams. the balloon is attached to the flask to seal the opening and the vinegar and baking soda mixes. the balloon inflates to a large volume. what will the total mass of the balloon and flask be after the balloon inflates? explain. a) less than 200 grams because the solid baking soda disappears. b) 200 grams, because all the atoms remain in the balloon or flask. c) more than 200 grams because the size of the balloon is so much larger. d) less than 200 grams because gases such as the one in the balloon are lighter than solids and liquids.

Researchers conducted an experiment to identify the effects of three different hand sanitizers on the growth of bacteria. the researchers grew one type of bacteria in twenty-four identical covered petri dishes. then, they opened eighteen petri dishes and applied the three hand sanitizers to six petri dishes each. they left the remaining six petri dishes closed as a control group. when the researchers measured the growth of bacteria two days later, the six dishes that had no hand sanitizer showed the least amount of bacterial growth. the researchers concluded that not using any hand sanitizer would lead to the least bacterial growth. which statement best explains why the researchers’ conclusion was not justified? the experiment tested too many variables. the control group was not treated the same as the experimental group. the sample size of twenty-four petri dishes is not large enough. the single type of bacteria is not adequate to make any conclusions.
